I think most of the elements were taken from UNO, if memory serves, so I can't really take credit for much. All I did was leave out a lot of the stuff you guys put in, mainly the pointed bottom window corners (which look weird in Quicktime), and whatever causes the divider line to disappear in TextEdit and non-metal Finder windows. All the gradients and graphic elements were, I believe (can't remember for sure), copied and pasted from either UNO or Iridium, or some Frankenstinian combination of the two. <br/><br/>Maybe the theme should be called Frankenmetal.<br/><br/>In any case, I'm still using the version linked here on the site, and I'm running 10.4.4, so apparently it is compatible, though the 10.4.4 update did initially overwrite it.<br/><br/>Cheers!<br/><br/>-systemsboy Steven,

Maybe the theme should be called Frankenmetal.

In any case, I’m still using the version linked here on the site, and I’m running 10.4.4, so apparently it is compatible, though the 10.4.4 update did initially overwrite it.

Cheers!

And, thanks for clearing up the UNO/Iridium relationship thing. It's good to see that someone actually reads the documentation :)<br/><br/>Let me know if you would like to apply your changes to the Iridium "trunk" (if you have a 10.4.4 version).<br/><br/>I'm working on Intel compatibility at the moment.

UNO does borrow from Iridium, and gives credit. I've tried both, and for whatever reason, I preferred UNO's appearance over Iridium's. But they both create some undesireable artifacts, which is why I rolled my own.<br/><br/>Christian, your Firefox skin looks nice. Any way to download it? I'm currently using "GrApple (Eos)" which I like a lot. But yours looks a bit nicer. This is true. UNO does borrow from Iridium, and gives credit.

Uno is actually a rip of Iridium, and Iridium looks and feels better. Plus, since you've been dabbling in Firefox, I've got a Unified Firefox theme going. Check it out on my site: http://www.six27.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/2005/09/29. Feel free to drop me a line; you can find my e-mail address on my site.
